Uche's prostate cancer treatment fund

Uche is facing prostate cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

🇳🇬 Kano, Kano, Nigeria600 views

Kano
Uche was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June. The oncology team at Kano University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in September. He will be away from work for about 8 weeks. Uche is 53, worked as a construction supervisor until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Kano University Hospital 3 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,850 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,350 • Scans and lab work: $165 • Transport to Kano University Hospital: $125 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $50 • Household costs while unable to work: $160 Every share and every dollar helps. - Bola

    Great help in a difficult time

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

      Hope it all works out, Bola. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

      • Nirmala Nirmala Rai

        Praying for you, Bola. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Bakersfield donated after I showed her your page. God bless

        • Megan Houston

          Rooting for you, Bola. Hope this works out for you. I hope September is when things finally get easier.

          • Jules Sébastien Lemaire

            you're not alone, Bola. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings

            • Fatima Oluwaseun Zakari

              This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kano.

              • Leah Burke

                You're not alone, Bola. Looking forward to the next update
